Alaska's Legal Ivory Trade

Alaska is one of the few places in the United States with an active ivory market. The tusks of Pacific Walruses are displayed by pilots and tourists who discover them on beaches, while carvings are sold by people native to the region. Dan Michels, the owner of a fishing lodge in Bristol Bay, takes Bloomberg through the ins and outs of the legal walrus ivory trade in Alaska. (Video by Drew Beebe) (Source: Bloomberg)
